The power trio Jeronimo with Michael Koch (g, voc), Gunnar Schäfer (b, voc) and Ringo Funk (dr, voc), recorded what has since become one of the most sought-after German albums among collectors: their own second self-titled LP with the Indian cover, designed by Helmut Wenske. After a few funny but also successful chart singles (still with their previous guitarist Rainer Marz), they had now developed a heavy guitar-based boogie blues and rock'n'roll. This LP, released in autumn 1971 with legendary producer Dieter Dirks as sound engineer, was by far their best, presenting a lot of vitality and hard rock skill in straightforward songs. This was a characteristic that also distinguished their third and final album, Time Ride. For some unknown reason, only a small number of copies of this highly sought-after self-titled album were pressed.
